Product Description

▼▲

More stories about the two great chums: "The Dance Recital," "The French Lesson," "The Disguise," "The Beach," and "The Garden." George and Martha, those incomparable hippos, will delight readers of all ages. James Marshall's five stories are really five mini-farces in which the dignity and the bulk of the hippos is in contrast with the ludicrousness of their situations.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

This second installment in the beloved series showcases the sweetness of friendship.

George and Martha know that its always a good idea to have a true friend in your corner (or at your dance recital)—even if you don't listen to their warning about the sun and end up a bright pink hippo after a day at the beach.

A man with a talent for friendship, James Marshall defined its very essence in his stories about the world’s two best friends. Each of these five brief tales is filled with humor, and James Marshall’s drawings are guaranteed to spark feelings of empathy, delight, and self-recognition.

Author Bio

▼▲

James Marshall (1942–1992) created dozens of exuberant and captivating books for children, including The Stupids, Miss Nelson Is Missing!, and the ever-popular George and Martha books. Before creating his canon of classic, hilarious children’s books, James Marshall played the viola, studied French, and received a master’s degree from Trinity College. He also doodled. It was the doodles, and the unforgettable characters that emerged from them, that led him to his life’s work as one of the finest creators of children’s books of the twentieth century. In 2007, James Marshall was posthumously awarded the Children's Literature Legacy Award for his lasting contribution to literature for children.
